About me

Welcome! I’m glad you stopped by. My name is Emily, and I am here to help. My goal as a therapist is to provide an open and compassionate space for my clients. I want you to feel empowered and supported as you work through life challenges and change. You may be navigating short term transition or long term unresolved needs in anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, work/life balance or other life experiences in which you feel stuck. I believe that we can all become the very best version of ourselves with the right combination of awareness, confidence and support. Want to talk? Book a session and we can discuss your needs as well as how I may support you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will be focused on getting to know each other and giving you the space to share your needs and goals. We will work together to make your plan for healing and growth and my gentle approach will give you the space to move forward at your pace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Compassion and empathy are core values that drive my work. It helps me be in tune with the needs of others and maintaining the care to help others grow.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have walked with my clients through life change and helped them to develop tools for healthy coping and to resolve issues with life transition, aging, grief, relationship issues and coping with issues like anxiety and depression that can sometimes accompany these experiences.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

We all have strengths and a level of resilience that can help us through everything life throws at us. I see my role as empowering my clients to tap into this. The strengths-based approach offers a focus on the power already within you and both how it has served you and how it can best help you moving forward.

Humanistic

I see the real person behind the 'problem' first. We all have unique perspectives based on our innate self as well as the perspectives we develop from our life experiences. I love to uplift my clients and help develop the clarity to see the innate needs that can drive life satisfaction and change. This approach works well for clients who are looking for a shift in their connection to life and themselves. This requires a lot of self honesty and motivation but the results are amazing and are so worth it!

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an opportunity to learn how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. I show clients how to harness the power of change through learning how to change thoughts while experiencing relief from day to day patterns in feelings and life experiences hindered by worry and stress.

Psychodynamic

Our feelings are dictated by many things. I use this approach when clients are looking to dig deeper in prior influences to their emotional state so they can better understand how they can move forward, heal and grow.

I have been seeing Emily now for almost a year, and the progress I have made in this time has been tremendous! I've had experience with other therapists, and Emily is BY FAR the most effective and most helpful provider I've encountered. She is so warm and friendly, but also able to clearly articulate the best way to create boundaries and stay true to yourself while avoiding unnecessary & self-created discomfort in your life. She is amazing!
